Gray Bunny I agree with pretty much everything you said. Wow!

I do not blame AMC for the cancellation of OLTL. I blame TIIC. There are AMC fans who are incredibly angry and hating on Oprah too, it isn't just the OLTL viewers. I wasn't at all upset over who Oprah put on her show about soap operas. This wasn't Oprah highlights the Daytime Emmys (like Phil Donahue used to do with the nominees the week of the broadcast) and they didn't include or mention Erika Slezak who has the most Daytime Emmys of any female actress or didn't include Justin Deas (who has the same number--6). That would have been annoying.

So now there are rumors of AMC and OLTL being bought by Sony for $200 million and being sent to NBC. They were saying both shows are still profitable and Sony is going to actively syndicate them internationally and the costs could be recouped in two years.

*Sigh* It is too good to be true, not even going to get my hopes up. :(

Going back to this from Soaptown

I really don't get WTF people want Lucci (or any of these actors) to do, cry on camera? Have a nervous breakdown on Oprah? Yeah it sucks that they were canceled and people are losing jobs, but the life of an actor doesn't guarantee job security anyway. Every single person who goes into acting knows this and for some of them to have careers as long as they have had makes them extremely lucky and one of few.

I'm so tired of the this dumbass idea that if everyone isn't ranting or raving incessantly like Strasser and Hickland, they don't care or they wanted the shows to be canceled.

I think SL has more class in her little finger than Robin Strasser, at least when it's come to this. RS is burning bridges left and right. Susan knows what her future is and that she can make it or break it. I'll be watching her next venture, don't know that I believe RS will have one.

Word it is to good to be true but I guess we shall see how it all plays out.

Remember though NBC seriously as a network, a show can have BAD ratings and still get renewed. Just look at their prime time lineup. Weak ratings but they still get renewed.

Yeah. Apparently this whole thing about them recruiting actors is to get the most popular/fan faves contracted with Sony before they move ahead with the deal. I am really hoping this happens, it sounds believable but there are plenty of people with no lives who love to stir [!@#$%^&*] up for no reason.

None of this is coming from any reliable site, however. The only reliable site that reported anything about this was Deadline saying that there were some rumblings that NBC was interested in OLTL as a companion for DAYS, but that financially, it was unlikely.

Nothing was mentioned about AMC.

RS didn't say anything about Susan, but that article sure seemed to be painting RS is a good light and SL in a bad light.

I was almost burnt at the cyber stake for saying this at another site, but what the hell: I don't like the idea of AMC on NBC and don't know that it's something I can honestly say I want. As for OLTL, it and Days are becoming two pees in a pod (that's not a knock on Days, it's just not my cup of tea anymore). They can haz each other.

      I saw this earlier and had to piggyback to it.   I mentioned before how they love to give characters shades of grey on this show which I love. And with Dani, they have always shifted her between protagonist and antagonist since Week 1. Having good nice moments...and then her over-the-top moments. I still holler every time I see a gif of her mugshot-turn-photoshoot. It's why she's so divisive in my opinion. Just look at this board. Dani actually been background for a month and a half now and people still feel a way just looking at her. Just wait until she's truly back in an A story.

          In any case, when we do see Dani...she's not doing anything over-the-top or crazy. She really hasn't done anything but sex up Andre which is scandalous while slowly catching feelings...but is quite C plot really. She's trying to start her business. Again...C plot for now. She's being there for family members. Nothing crazy, but a litttle too nice for a livewire such as herself as established in Week 1 and when she broke into Bill and Hayley's house so it's about time for the writers to put her back in that 'annoying' over-the-top way. I don't like it myself, but she is overdue one of her shifts the writers do with her so it is not surprising.

      -- Laura to Sonny: "I will always love and respect you." GAG ME. This stuff doesn't lead me to respect Sonny more, but to respecting Laura less. -- Carly being brought into the Gio/Brook Lynn story by Lulu. GAG ME. Why does Carly have to be a part of every damn story on this show?

      This episode was probably the most we've ever seen of Jan.. and it took long enough. The phone conversation between Jan/Ashley also shed light on their backstory.. and I think it explains why Ashley seems to live in a dreamworld and why she's having difficulties with living with Derek.  Derek could be doing everything right and Ashley would still have a problem because she was an only child, didn't see her mother model positive male/female interactions, and sounds as if she was alone a lot of the time. Nicole is modeling healthy human behavior and she would be smart not to listen to Dani's advice... well intentioned as it is. Eva is the character you root for because she's suffering the consequences of her actions.  And if I were Eva, I wouldn't want to be part of the Dupree world.   I'm hoping the Doug/Joey scenes today is signaling that we're finally moving to the next stage of this story... Doug either asking Vanessa for the money, or letting Joey have dibs on Vanessa's business books, etc.   And Joey finally showing his true colors makes me think we might be approaching that next stage of this story.

      Lord have mercy!!! Not SilkPress vs Eva at Oprhany Gene for everyone to see!!!! Though I loved Vernon shading SilkPress. I continue to love all this fallout.   Is THAT Joey's endgame?

      WAIT!!?  You don't want to know CM's workout secrets?  And a recap of his insta feed?  What's wrong with you?   Anyhow, today's show had good character moments.  I feel like Sonny/Laura brought it down.  I really like Tracey and Jason scenes so I think I am a weirdo.  Carly/Lulu were actually pretty good as well, but Carly's dress was some sort of bondage/leather type situation?  It was a strange wardrobe choice lol.

      Yeah, I don't really love Felicity being used to push the Chad/Cat agenda.  I don't get the question on Xander's behavior either.  He was wrong and offensive. I like Xander.  I think Paul Telfer is great.  If Marlena did the same thing I would say she's wrong too.  Characters are imperfect and that's fine.

      Vanessa told Joey that her best friend had cheated and has a surprise daughter.  Joey said the same had happened to him.  I wasn't sure if Joey was saying he has an adult out-of-wedlock child?

      Interesting. I definitely think that it's possible that Jan could be a former lover of Joey's from back in the day, maybe back when he was still married. I won't be surprised if it comes out at some point that Jan used to be an escort or something.
